Some things we’ve just gotten used to—like $4 coffee, the F-bomb on TV, and your cousin Fred oversharing on Facebook. But has our nothing-shocks-us society also desensitized us to the effects of living in debt? George and Rachel weigh in. Join them for a New York twist on a classic cocktail and smart money tips to ditch debt and build wealth.
In this episode:
- Things we should find shocking, like a $500 car payment and retiring with a mortgage
- Sputnik, “Carmageddon” and the gateway drug to debt: the credit score
- The antidote to overspending (so you can enjoy what you have now while you work for the things you want later)
